biol 227 unit 1 Study Questions with Complete
Solutions
Anatomy - ANS study of structure and form
Physiology - ANS study of the function of body parts
Microscopic Anatomy - ANS examines structures that cannot be seen by the unaided eye
Cytology - ANS study of body cells and their internal structure
Histology - ANS study of blood tissues
Gross Anatomy - ANS also known as macroscopic anatomy; investigates the structure and
relationships of body parts that are visible to the unaided eye
ex: intestines, stomach, brain, heart, kidneys
Systemic Anatomy - ANS studies the anatomy of each functional body system
Regional Anatomy - ANS examines all of the structures in a particular region of the body as a
complete unit
Surface Anatomy - ANS focus on both superficial anatomic markings and the internal body
structures that relate to the skin covering them
comparative anatomy - ANS examines similarities and the differences in the anatomy of
different species
, Embryology - ANS discipline concerned with development changes occurring from conception
to birth
Pathologic Anatomy/Pathology - ANS examines all anatomic changes resulting from disease
radiographic anatomy - ANS relationships among internal structures visualized by specific
imaging procedures
cardiovascular physiology - ANS examines the functioning of the heart, blood vessels, and blood
neurophysiology - ANS examines how nerve impulses travel throughout the nervous system
respiratory physiology - ANS studies how respiratory gases are transferred by gas exchange
between the lungs and the blood vessels
reproductive physiology - ANS the functioning of reproductive hormones and the reproductive
cycle
Pathophysiology - ANS the study of how disease processes affect the function of the body
Metabolism - ANS all chemical reactions in the body
Anabolism - ANS smaller molecules are joined to form larger molecules
Catabolism - ANS large molecules breaking down into smaller ones
chemical level - ANS simplest level, involves atoms and molecules
